Lungu Ngaba & Company Legal Practitioners has secured several new corporate advisory mandates in Zambia’s mining and energy sector, reflecting growing demand for specialist legal support as the country continues to attract significant investment in its extractive industries.
A growing extractive sector
Zambia’s mining sector remains one of the continent’s most active, with copper production a cornerstone of the national economy. The Firm’s expanded engagement in this sector builds on its existing Property, Mining & Energy practice, which advises on mining rights, mineral royalties, hydroelectricity, oil and gas, and environmental matters.
“Our clients in the extractive industries need counsel that understands both the commercial realities of their operations and the complex regulatory environment in which they operate. We are well-positioned to provide that support.”
Scope of engagement
The new mandates cover a range of advisory work including regulatory compliance, contractual arrangements with state entities, environmental and carbon trading considerations, and cross-border transaction structuring. The Firm continues to draw on its network of specialist consultants where multidisciplinary input is required.
Key areas covered
- Mining rights and mineral royalty compliance
- Regulatory licence applications and renewals
- Environmental and carbon trading arrangements
- Cross-border transaction structuring
- Contractual arrangements with state entities
Clients engaged with Zambia’s mining and energy sector are encouraged to contact the Firm to discuss how we can support their legal and regulatory requirements.
